I know the above is a joke, but it does represent a serious
risk. the PowerBASIC web-boards are a single point of failure.
If PowerBASIC goes belly up or becomes too sucessful and gets
bought out, they could disapear. If someone had a ligitimate
complaint about PoweBASIC inc. it could be censored. Right now
the web-boards are great and there is nothing to complain about
concerning the product or the company, but if things did go bad,
it would be nice to have an uncensorable place to discuss it.
Any ideas for more activity? ,-)
How about a gateway that grabs web-board posts and posts
copies here? The gateway would, of course, be best written
in PowerBASIC... :)
My biggest problem is that there is really nothing for me
to say about PowerBASIC. I use PB/CC and it just works.
